Is there a Multi-Unit Addendum available for the Cinnabon Franchise Agreement?

Yes, according to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, a Multi-Unit Addendum is available. The document states that Cinnabon may offer prospective franchisees the opportunity to enter into multiple franchise agreements simultaneously, which would include a Multi-Unit Addendum to the Franchise Agreement. This addendum is referenced as Schedule E to the Franchise Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit B to the Disclosure Document.

This means that a potential franchisee has the option to negotiate for the rights to open and operate more than one Cinnabon location from the outset, rather than being limited to a single unit. However, if a franchisee does not sign a Multi-Unit Addendum, they will not have the right to develop or operate multiple bakeries unless they sign additional Franchise Agreements in the future.

For prospective franchisees interested in expanding their Cinnabon business beyond a single location, exploring the Multi-Unit Addendum is essential. It outlines the terms and conditions for developing and operating multiple units under a single agreement, which can streamline the expansion process and potentially offer certain benefits compared to negotiating separate franchise agreements for each location. Franchisees should carefully review Schedule E of the Franchise Agreement to understand the specific obligations, development schedules, and other requirements associated with multi-unit development.
